Whenever

Stop carrying your tasks in your head. Whenever helps you focus on what actually matters β not just what's due soonest. Most to-do apps drown you in deadlines. Whenever works differently: every task gets sorted by priority, not just by date, so you always know what to do first β even when nothing has a due date at all. PRIORITIES INSTEAD OF DEADLINES Sort every task into one of four priorities: urgent & important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, or neither. See at a glance what actually deserves your attention today. FOCUS ON TODAY Pull a handful of tasks into Focus and work through them one at a time β no overwhelming lists, just what you decided matters right now. HONEST TIME TRACKING Set a time estimate before you start, then see exactly how long a task really took. No guessing, no self-deception β just an honest record of your own pace. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Attach links, addresses, images, and usernames directly to any task. Add notes with Markdown formatting. Everything you need to get something done lives right where the task is. MULTIPLE BOARDS Separate work, home, and personal projects into their own boards. Switch between them in a tap. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS All your tasks and notes are stored locally on your device. No account required, no ads, no tracking. Available in English, Russian, Romanian, and French. Whenever offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions for extended features. Subscription pricing and terms are shown before purchase.
